The Best Moments From The Cavaliers’ Memorable White House Visit

The Cleveland Cavaliers visited the White House on Thursday for their official championship celebration with President Obama, whose easy charm and humor we will really miss for these sorts of things. The full video of his speech to them is above, but here are our favorite parts of the transcript:

Welcome to the White House and give it up for the world champion Cleveland Cavaliers. That’s right, I said ‘World Champion’ and ‘Cleveland Cavaliers’ in the same sentence. That’s what we’re talking about when we’re talking about hope and change.

I also, before I go any further, want to give a special thanks to J.R. Smith’s shirt for showing up. I wasn’t sure if it was going to make an appearance today. I’m glad it came. You’re a very nice shirt.

Iman Shumpert, playing not only great defense and scoring, but also delivered his wife’s baby in the bathtub using a pair of headphones to tie off the umbilical cord. Now that’s something right there. That was an All-Star move. Got the MacGyver flat top, which we miss.
